Wall·E Funko Pop Review (2018 BoxLunch Earthday Exclusive)

I don't think there could be a better way to celebrate Earth Day here on the blog this weekend than to share with you some of the AMAZING new Wall·EBoxLunch Exclusives available right now—starting today with this adorable limited edition Wall·E Funko POP! This special release just dropped on April 16th in stores and online and, as expected, Disney·Pixar fans (such as myself) have been going crazy for it! Everyone's favorite trash compacting robot has never looked cuter.

Besides the fact that this "POP!" is utterly adorable and perfect in ever way possible, it's extra cool because the vinyl figure himself is actually made from (in observance of Earth Day) 20% recycled material, while the box is 80% recycled material for conscious collecting! The blister/window box is PET material and is 100% recyclable. How cool right? I love the overall earthy look of the packaging—I usually open my "POP!" figures and toss the boxes (I know, some of you may say blasphemy to that), but I think I might have to keep this one.

Wall·E here is number 400 in the massive Disney/Pixar Funko "POP!" line. That's a lot of POPs. It's also crazy to think that the original Wall·E and Eve Funkos were numbers 44 and 45 and were only my second blog post ever—clear back on July 1st, 2013 (almost five years ago)! I was a man of few words back then (see what I mean by checking out that post HERE ;). Funko has come along way with their designs as well! They keep getting better and better.

Let's take a closer look at this cutie out of the box!

Wall·E is one of my favorite Pixar films, so this was an essential one to get for me. It doesn't get much more iconic than Wall·E holding the plant in the boot, so that was an amazing design choice here—one I hadn't even considered until I saw it! And like the character himself, I love this figure's expressiveness. They really captured his innocent and curious nature with so few details.

Unfortunately since I started this post, this figure has sold out online (and is most likely sold out in stores as well—though it doesn't hurt to check). Your best bet in snagging one at this point is by visiting THIS direct link to current eBay listings and seeing if you can get one for a decent deal. I wish you the best of luck on the hunt!

Lastly, A HUGE thanks to my friends over at BoxLunch Gifts for sending this on over for me to photograph and review for you guys. They seriously have some of the best Disney/Pixar clothing and collectibles around (I'm talking really unique options), so if you haven't yet, definitely check out their site HERE and follow them on social media (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook...).

I hope you've enjoyed this detailed look! Stay tuned to tomorrow as I have one more exciting Earth Day item to share with you... :) In the mean time, go ahead and shout out any of your thoughts or questions in the comments below! I'd love to hear any additional insights you might have.
